An NFA weapon (a machine gun that I presume was not registered) was taken in a drug raid. After the raid, police turned it over to a museum. I wonder how that is? An NFA weapon that is unregistered is contraband and cannot lawfully be transferred. David says:

I think there is a museum exception (not dead sure). The only police exception is, as I remember, that they don’t have to pay the $200 tax — but guns on which no tax is paid become “law enforcement only,” I think even if a person offers to buy and pay the tax on that transaction.

Anyone know? If so, I may open a museum.
